I thought I'd have a little fun and start a place where we could all safely ask to see if folks are selling stuff, but without the shame of being identified directly... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Whatever you post, it must contain "Asking for a friend" somewhere in the post, and it has to be a genuine request.
I'll kick things off.
I'm looking for an Amstrad CPC464 or CPC6128, working or not. Asking for a friend...

Re: Asking for a friend...
I don't have one for sale but your friend should consider a CPC plus model. Lots of new things coming out these days with plus support. GX4000 consoles are cheap and they are CPC plus models. And I can imagine a guy like your friend upgrading one to 128krubber_jonnie wrote: 12 Sep 2023 10:46 I'm looking for an Amstrad CPC464 or CPC6128, working or not. Asking for a friend...
Know anyone in Scotland (@terriblefire?) who could collect this for you?

Re: Asking for a friend...
My friend has a physical aversion to the GX4000, something about it looking like it was based on a run over Dreamcast, though I'm sure he/she might enjoy the upgrade process.alexh wrote: 12 Sep 2023 11:03I don't have one for sale but your friend should consider a CPC plus model.

Sadly I don't know anyone in Scotland that could pick this up for my friend.
The CPC plus seems to be something he/she could enjoy though...

Perhaps the breaking and catching fire is more to do with your friend than the chairs...exxos wrote: 12 Sep 2023 11:07 I'm looking for a supply of chairs which don't break or catch fire! Asking for a friend..

Re: Asking for a friend...
@rubber_jonnie please tell your friend I have a spare CPC464 & CPC6128 that both work fine. No idea of price yet as I have to remember how much it cost me to fix.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
